Best Time to Charter In Spain

For the most part, the Spanish coast maintains a Mediterranean climate: one with hot, dry summers and mild, sometimes rainy winters. And while it is accessible all year long, when it comes to Spain yacht charters, there are some months that are better than others for traveling – most notably, July and August. Due to hot, sunny days and mild water temperatures perfect for outdoor adventures, the summer months are very popular among yacht charter guests.

On the other hand, May and September promise some of Spain’s best temperatures – the sun will still be shining but the days will be more moderate. During this time of year, yacht charter guests can be found playing in the sun, exploring the islands by foot and even anchoring their yacht for some fun swimming in the sea.
